The bile alcohols present in the feces of a patient with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis were studied. Three bile alcohols which are different from any known natural bile alcohol were isolated as minor components of the fecal bile alcohol fraction. The structures of these compounds were established as 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 23 beta-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 24 alpha-tetrol, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 24 beta-tetrol by comparison with synthetic samples. 相似文献

This paper describes syntheses of 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25-tetrol and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 24xi, 25-pentol which give higher yields than previously published methods. In addition, 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 24xi, 25-pentol was synthesized by a different procedure, namely via performic acid oxidation of the correspinding unsaturated triol, which gave a lower yield but avoided the formation of 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25, 26-pentol, which normally tends to contaminate the final product. Structures were confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography, infrared-, proton magnetic resonance- and mass spectrometry, 5beta-Cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 25-tetrol and 5beta-cholestane-3alpha, 7alpha, 12alpha, 24xi, 25-pentol were required for in vivo and in vitro studies of the (hypothetical) 25-hydroxylation pathway of cholic acid biosynthesis. 相似文献

Side chain oxidation and cleavage of precursors in cholic acid synthesis is thought to involve initial hydroxylation at either position 25 or 26 of the side chain. Therefore, the conversion of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrol and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 25-tetrol into cholic acid was studied in normal subjects after single intravenous injections of these labeled alcohols. Eighty-six percent and 82% of 5 beta-cholestane, 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrol was converted into cholic acid in two subjects, respectively. However, only 14 and 16% of the injected 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 25-tetrol was converted into cholic acid in two subjects, respectively. Thus, this study indicates that 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 25-tetrol is an inefficient substrate for cholic acid biosynthesis in man and that the major route of cholic acid synthesis probably involves the 26-hydroxylated intermediate. 相似文献

The nature of cholestanetetrols present as the glucurono-conjugates in human gallbladder bile was studied. Glucurono-conjugated bile alcohols were isolated by ion exchange chromatography and, after enzymatic hydrolysis, were fractionated by reversed phase partition chromatography to give a fraction containing tetrahydroxy bile alcohols which was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Along with the three previously identified bile alcohols, 5 alpha- and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha,24-tetrols, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha,26-tetrol, three new cholestanetetrols, possessing two hydroxyl groups in the ring system and two in the side chain, were detected in the tetrahydroxy bile alcohol fraction. These new bile alcohols were identified as 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,24,26-tetrol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,25,26-tetrol, and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha,26,27-tetrol by direct comparison of their gas-liquid chromatographic behaviors and mass spectral data with those of authentic standards prepared from chenodeoxycholic acid by partial synthesis. 相似文献

Structural determinants of L-[(3)H]nicotine binding to synthetic peptides comprising residues 188-207 of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha subunits were invesitigated by equilibrium binding analysis. Two binding components were detected, one of low affinity (K(d) approximately 1.5 microM) that did not differ significantly among peptides and another of high affinity. The high affinity binding component was higher for the neuronal peptides (K(d) = 14-23 nM) than the muscle alpha1 peptides (K(d) = 52 nM). The following nonconservative substitutions in the alpha4 peptide resulted in a significant decrease in nicotine affinity for the peptide: Y190A, Y190D, C192G, E195A, E195-, P199A, P199-, and Y203A. Substitution of alpha4P199 with a leucine which is present in the alpha1 sequence decreased the affinity of the alpha4 peptide for nicotine and substitution of alpha1L199 with a proline (alpha4) or a glutamine (alpha3) increased the affinity of the alpha1 peptide. It is concluded that aromatic residues contribute to the binding site for nicotine on the alpha4 subunit and that the residue present at position 199 partly determines differences in nicotine affinity for different alpha subunits. 相似文献

Rabbit liver mitochondria in the presence of NAD+ were found to catalyze the conversion of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrol into 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid. The peroxisomal fraction did not catalyze the reaction. Sonication of the mitochondria or dialysis overnight against a hypotonic buffer increased the rate of oxidation twofold. Most of the enzyme activity was recovered in the supernatant fraction after centrifugation at 100,000xg of sonicated mitochondria. 4-Heptylpyrazole, an inhibitor of cytosolic ethanol dehydrogenase, inhibited the mitochondrial formation of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid by 70%. Disulfiram, an inhibitor of cytosolic acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, did not inhibit the reaction. The role of the mitochondrial dehydrogenase system in bile acid biosynthesis is discussed. 相似文献

A new bile alcohol, 5 beta-cholestanehexol, was identified in the urine of healthy humans as the glucuronide. The bile alcohol glucuronide fraction was isolated by an ion exchange chromatography on piperidinohydroxypropyl Sephadex LH-20. After enzymatic hydrolysis, the bile alcohols were converted into trimethylsilyl ether derivatives and analyzed by a combination of gas-liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. The major bile alcohol was 27-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentol. As minor constituents the following C26 and C27 bile alcohols were identified: 27-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25,26-hexol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,26-pentol, 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25,26-pentol. In addition to these bile alcohols, a new bile alcohol was identified as a sixth component of the urinary bile alcohols. The structure was assigned as (24S)-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25,26-hexol by the direct comparison of mass spectral data and chromatographic properties with synthetic standard. The average daily excretion of the new bile alcohol was 28.6 micrograms and 3.0% of the total bile alcohols. The presence of 27-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentol and 27-nor-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25,26-hexol suggests that 26-hydroxylation of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentol is most likely for the biosynthesis of this new bile alcohol. 相似文献

This paper describes studies dealing with the nature of the C27 pentahydroxy bile alcohols present in the bile and feces of two patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX). The presence of a bile alcohol having the structure 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,24alpha,25-pentol was confirmed by separation of the two 24-hydroxy epimers of 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,24,25-pentol and characterization of the dpimers by gas-liquid chromatography and infrared and mass spectrometry. Tentative assignment of the 24alpha and 24beta configuration was made on the basis of molecular rotation differences. A second major bile alcohol excreted by the CTX subjects was 5beta-cholestane-3alpha,7alpha,12alpha,23xi,25-pentol. Its structure was determined by infrared spectrometry, proton magnetic resonance spectrometry, and mass spectrometry because a reference compound was not available. 相似文献

In order to confirm the occurrence of 3 alpha, 6 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid in Zellweger's syndrome, the nature of tetrahydroxycholestanoic acids present in a patient with this disease was studied. Urinary bile acids were extracted with a Sep-pak C18 cartridge and methylated after alkaline hydrolysis. The methyl esters were purified by silica gel column chromatography, and the methyl tetrahydroxycholestanoate fraction was analyzed by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Along with already known side chain hydroxylated derivatives of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid, 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 24- and 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha, 26-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acids, three nuclear hydroxylated derivatives of 3 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid were found. One of them was identified as 3 alpha, 6 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid by direct comparison with the authentic standard which was chemically synthesized from 3 alpha, 6 alpha, 7 alpha, 12 alpha-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholanoic acid by side chain elongation. 相似文献

Transfected cells containing GABA(A) benzodiazepine receptors (BDZRs) have been utilized to systematically determine the affinity of ligands at alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha5 and alpha6 subtypes in combination with beta2 and gamma2. All but a few of the ligands thus far studied have relatively high affinities for each of these alpha subtype receptors. Thus, these ligands must contain common stereochemical properties favorable for recognition by each of the subtype combinations. In the present work, such a common three-dimensional (3D) pharmacophore for recognition of alpha1, alpha2, alpha3, alpha5 and alpha6 containing GABA(A)/BDZRs types of receptors has been developed and assessed, using as a database receptor affinities measured in transfected cells for 27 diverse compounds. The 3D-recognition pharmacophore developed consists of three proton accepting groups, a hydrophobic group, and the centroid of an aromatic ring found in a common geometric arrangement in the 19 nonselective ligands used. Three tests were made to assess this pharmacophore: (i) Four low affinity compounds were used as negative controls, (ii) Four high affinity compounds, excluded from the pharmacophore development, were used as compounds for pharmacophore validation, (iii) The 3D pharmacophore was used to search 3D databases. The results of each of these types of assessments provided robust validation of the 3D pharmacophore. This 3D pharmacophore can now be used to discover novel nonselective ligands that could be activation selective at different behavioral end points. Additionally, it may serve as a guide in the design of more selective ligands, by determining if candidate ligands proposed for synthesis conform to this pharmacophore and selecting those that do not for further experimental assessment. 相似文献

Novel methods for the isolation of gamma-aminobutyric acidA (GABAA) receptor alpha subunit iso-oligomers have been developed. Thus, populations of GABAA receptors containing the GABAA receptor alpha 1 subunit, the alpha 2 subunit, and the alpha 3 subunit have been purified from sodium deoxycholate extracts of bovine cerebral cortex with the retention of specific [3H]flunitrazepam-binding activity by anti-alpha 1 324-341, anti-Cys alpha 2 414-424, or anti-Cys alpha 3 454-467 antibody affinity chromatography, respectively. The relative abundance of the different specificity alpha subunits in these preparations was compared with benzodiazepine affinity chromatography-purified GABAA receptors by immunoblotting. In each case, it was found that although the immunoreactivity with the specific alpha subunit antibody that was used for purification was enriched in immunoaffinity-purified receptors, reactivity with the other alpha subunit specificity antibodies, together with anti-gamma 2 1-14 Cys immunoreactivity was found. Immunoprecipitation of GABAA receptors purified by anti-alpha 1 324-341 antibody affinity chromatography by all three anti-alpha subunit antibodies employed, together with the use of anti-alpha 1 324-341 and anti-Cys alpha 2 414-424 antibody affinity columns in series, further substantiated the partial co-purification of the different polypeptides. These results demonstrate the copurification of the gamma 2 subunit with each population of alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 3 subunit-enriched GABAA receptors. They also show the existence of minor populations of GABAA receptors that contain alpha 1 alpha 2, alpha 1 alpha 3, and alpha 2 alpha 3 subunit pairs within single oligomers. 相似文献

The nature of two novel C27 bile acids present as the taurine conjugates in urine from a patient with Zellweger's syndrome was studied. Bile acids conjugated with taurine were isolated from unconjugated and glycine-conjugated bile acids by means of ion-exchange chromatography. After alkaline hydrolysis of the taurine conjugates, the hydrolysate was acidified and extracted with ether; the extract was again subjected to ion-exchange chromatography to separate neutral from acidic compounds. The neutral fraction, which consisted mainly of two steroidal lactones, was treated with lithium aluminum hydride, and the reduction products were identified as (22R)-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,22,26-pentol and (23R)-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,23,26-pentol by direct comparison of their gas-liquid chromatographic behaviors and mass spectral data with those of chemically synthesized authentic samples. Thus, the chemical structure of two native bile acids present in urine from a patient with Zellweger's syndrome should be formulated as (22R)-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,22-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid and (23R)-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,12 alpha,23-tetrahydroxy-5 beta-cholestanoic acid, respectively. 相似文献

Helicobacter pylori vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA, induces vacuolation, mitochondrial damage, cytochrome c release, and apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells. To detect gastric proteins that serve as VacA receptors, we used VacA co-immunoprecipitation techniques following biotinylation of the cell surface and identified p250, a receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatase beta (RPTP beta) as a VacA-binding protein (Yahiro, K., Niidome, T., Kimura, M., Hatakeyama, T., Aoyagi, H., Kurazono, H., Imagawa, K., Wada, A., Moss, J., and Hirayama, T. (1999) J. Biol. Chem. 274, 36693-36699). VacA causes vacuolation of G401 cells, a human kidney tumor cell line, although they do not express RPTP beta. By co-immunoprecipitation with VacA, we identified p140 as a potential receptor in those cells. p140 purified by chromatography on a peanut agglutinin affinity matrix contained internal amino acid sequences of RGEENTDYVNASFIDGYRQK and AEGILDVFQTVK, which are identical to those in RPTP alpha. The peptide mass fingerprinting of p140 by time of flight-MS analysis also supported this identification. Treatment of G401 cells with RPTP alpha-morpholino antisense oligonucleotide before exposure to toxin inhibited vacuolation. These data suggest that RPTP alpha acts as a receptor for VacA in G401 cells. Thus, two receptor tyrosine phosphatases, RPTP alpha and RPTP beta, serve as VacA receptors. 相似文献

Interaction of proteoglycans with the pericellular (1 alpha, 2 alpha, 3 alpha) collagens of cartilage 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Interaction between cartilage proteoglycan and the collagen(s) composed of 1 alpha, 2 alpha, and 3 alpha chains was studied in vitro. Most of the collagen was insoluble under the conditions of assay (0.15 M NaCl, 0.008 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; 4 degrees C) and was in the form of fibrils 20 nm in diameter or thinner. The larger fibrils had 60-70 nm periodicity, characteristic of native collagens. Proteoglycan monomers which had been labeled by incubating cartilage slices in vitro with Na2 35SO4 were used to assay the interaction. The insoluble collagen fraction bound proteoglycan from solution. At proteoglycan:collagen ratios lower than 1:2, binding was rapid and linear, and the dissociation constant was 1.7 X 10(-9) M. At higher proteoglycan:collagen ratios, more proteoglycan was bound, but at a slower rate. Binding of proteoglycan to collagen did not require fibrils, since soluble 1 alpha, 2 alpha, and 3 alpha containing collagen also bound to proteoglycan and formed an insoluble complex. Denatured collagens did not bind proteoglycan or compete for binding with normal collagen. Optimum binding occurred with intact proteoglycan, but proteoglycan which had been treated with protease was also bound at low levels. Both protease-treated proteoglycan and free chondroitin sulfate competed with intact proteoglycan in the binding assays, but neither chondroitinase ABC-treated proteoglycan nor the oligosaccharides produced by digestion of chondroitin sulfate with testicular hyaluronidase altered the binding of proteoglycan to collagen. Hyaluronic acid did not compete with radioactive proteoglycan, but heparin and dextran sulfate were extremely effective inhibitors of binding. These data suggest a relatively nonspecific interaction between sulfated polyanions and 1 alpha, 2 alpha, and 3 alpha containing collagens. However, given the location of these collagens near the chondrocyte surface, the interaction of fibrillar 1 alpha, 2 alpha, 3 alpha collagen with proteoglycan is likely to occur and to be of biological importance. 相似文献

alpha 1-Adrenergic activation stimulated phosphorylase and phosphoinositide turnover in hepatocytes from guinea pigs, rats and rabbits. Chlorethylclonidine inhibited these effects in rat and rabbit cells but not in guinea pig hepatocytes; low concentrations of 5-methyl urapidil blocked the alpha 1 actions in guinea pig and rabbit liver cells, but not in rat hepatocytes. Binding competition experiments also showed high affinity for 5-methyl urapidil in liver membranes from guinea pigs and rabbits and low affinity in those from rats. The data indicated that guinea pig hepatocytes express alpha 1A-, rat hepatocytes alpha 1B- and rabbit hepatocytes alpha 1C- adrenoceptors. This was confirmed by Northern analysis using receptor subtype-selective probes. 相似文献
